•Wait until the tone sounds after pressing the push to talk button
before speaking a command.
•Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.
•Please realize voice recognition performance is not 100% and varies by

FCC COMPLIANCE
Changes or modifications not approved by Ford Lincoln Mercury could
void user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits with the Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.
PRINCIPLES OF NAVIGATION
The system directs the user based on information derived from global
positioning satellites, road maps stored on the DVD, sensors in the
vehicle and the desired destination. The system compiles all necessary
information to guide the user to the selected destination. Space satellites
broadcast information used to determine the vehicle’s current location.

LIMITED GPS RECEPTION
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The
following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the
vehicle is:
•In multi-story parking garages
•In tunnels and under bridges
•Inside or in between buildings
•By forests or tree-lined avenues
•In heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
•In valleys and in mountainous regions
•Roads under cliffs
Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the dashboard and
that if your windows are tinted, they use non-metal tinting instead of
metal oxide tinting. Both of these factors can also interrupt GPS
reception.
If the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the navigation
function may be temporarily unresponsive. The navigation system will
operate reliably again once GPS reception is available for a few minutes.
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Cold temperature start:When operating the system below 32° F
(0°C), the display screen requires a 2–3 minutes warm-up time to
achieve maximum brightness.
Other conditions:When calculating a route, the system doesn’t take
into consideration any of the following conditions:
•Traffic Conditions
•Weather Conditions
•Driving Habits
•Construction Zones
•New Roads

the driving task when it is safe to do so.
•Do not attempt to service or repair SYNC. See your authorized dealer.
•Do not operate playing devices if the power cords and/or cables are
broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or cables where
they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation of pedals,
seats and/or compartments, or safe driving abilities.
•Do not leave playing devices in the vehicle in extreme conditions as it
could cause damage to your device. Refer to your device’s user guide
for further information.
•For your safety, some SYNC functions are speed dependent and
cannot be performed when the vehicle is traveling at speeds greater
than 3 mph (4.82 km/h).
•Ensure that you review your device’s user guide before using with
SYNC.
PHONE DEPENDENT FEATURES

functionality of your cell phone withBluetoothwireless technology. At a
minimum, most cellular phones withBluetoothwireless technology
support the following functions:
•Answering an incoming call
•Ending a call
•Using privacy mode
•Dial a number
•Redial
•Call waiting notification
•Caller ID
Other features, such as text messaging viaBluetooth, and automatic
phone book download are phone dependent features. To ensure that you

SYNC VOICE RECOGNITION FEATURE
SYNC is equipped with an advanced interactive Voice Recognition (VR)
system. This system allows you to perform many operations by
“speaking” certain commands to the system. The system will respond
with a series of audible tones, prompts, questions and spoken
confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of
dialogue interaction.
Feedback through audible tones
Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may
hear a tone at the following times:
•When you press VOICE or
on your steering wheel controls.
•When you access the help feature.
•When the VR system does not understand your request
•When a VR session is completed successfully
•When a VR session is ended unsuccessfully
•When a speed dependent feature has been accessed
•When a new device is connected
SYNC has five different audible tones that will play depending on the
circumstance.
•Initial: Sounds when you are entering a new mode.
•Positive: Sounds for a positive recognition or a successful VR session
completion.
•Negative: Sounds for a negative recognition, an unsuccessful VR
session, or when a speed dependent feature has been accessed.
•Listening: Sounds when the system is ready to listen for a command.
•Help: Sounds when you ask for ’Help’.
Confirmation prompts
Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the
system has not clearly understood your request or when there are many
possible responses to your request. For example, if you have
Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, “Phone, is that correct?”.
The system will then listen for a “Yes” or “No” confirmation from you. If
you say “Yes”, the system will proceed. If you say “No”, the system will
ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts
OFF, the system will simply make a best guess as to what you requested.

If the system has a low confidence level of what was asked, it will
prompt you to try again or ask for help.
Note:Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to
confirm certain settings occasionally.
Clarification through candidate lists
Candidate lists are created when the system has several possible options
of similar level of confidence as a result of your request. The system will
submit back to you as many as four possibilities for your clarification.
This may happen either with your phone book and/or music selections.
Example #1:
You want to call John Doe at home, so you say, “Call John Doe at home”.
If the system has a similar confidence level for a few items, it may
respond with:
•(initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to call John Doe at home. Say 2
after the tone to call Johnny Doe on mobile. Say 3 after the tone to
call Jane Doe at home.” (listen tone)
Example #2:
You want to listen to a certain artist, so you say, “Search Artist John”. If
the system has a similar confidence level for two possible options, it may
respond with:
•(initial tone) “Say 1 after the tone to search John Doe. Say 2 after the
tone to search Johnny Doe.” (listen tone)
Using voice commands with your SYNC system
There is a push to talk button on your steering wheel controls labeled
either VOICE or
. Press to activate Voice Recognition. You will hear a
tone, signaling that the system is ready to accept your command. Any
command spoken prior to the beep will not register with the system.
Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to
recognize and perform the desired function.
For the best system performance:
•Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind
noise from open windows, road vibrations, and radio volume may
prevent the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
•Wait until the tone sounds after pressing the push to talk button
before speaking a command.
